[NCC] Fwd: ARRL 160 W1NN Single Op LP

[Hal Offutt]

Lots of members worked.  Nice job by K3UA at K3LR!

I was hoping that K8MR would call in and give me the rare WCF but I 
never heard him.  I finally worked W4CU in WCF as my QSO number 485.

It was very nice to hear and work NO3M.  Haven't heard much from Eric 
recently.  He said that he hopes to come back to the Thursday night NS 
contests.  It will be good to hear his 50WPM cw again.  I guess that 
means we'll all be slipping one place further down in the results!

Comments:

160 contests become daytime events when I operate remotely from Japan 
and this
makes it a little easier to put in a lot of hours since I don't need to 
stay up
all night. However, this time, I arrived just about 10 hours before the 
start
time, and I had not even begun adjusting to local time, so I ended up just
putting in a few hours.

This event really attracts the activity! It's fun to work a lot of calls 
that
you don't often hear in other contests.

My Internet connection was pretty erratic the first day and I think my 
CW may
have been choppy. I can't monitor my own CW, just the side tone, so I'm not
sure if this affects my sending, but I'm sorry if it made me difficult 
to copy.

It is humbling to see all of the reports of guys working 30-40 countries. I
have to hand it to those station builders who spend so much effort on their
antennas. I didn't work any EU this time and only heard a few on the 
first day
and none on the second day in my occasional sweeps across the band. 
Sometimes
the EU stations I heard quite well were calling CQ with no replies.

CU in the Stew!
